This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

A person ether has integrity are they don't, The guy has proven he lacks personal integrity.
He is asking people to trust him, when he has shown he is untrustworthy.

Face it, people, we're all suckers when it comes to stuff like this.
Washington D.C. is full of people on both sides of the isle who have basically faked their way to the top. They have biographers and publicists who's job it is to create and mold their public persona and by the time it is crafted, packaged, and ready for prime time we are literally seeing an "artists rendition" of the person which far too often bares little resemblance to who that person is in real life.
To make matters even worse, when these people do have public moments when they "show their true colors", they have an army of apologists dumping stupid cliches on us like "nobody's perfect", "we're all human", and my own personal favorite, "everybody deserves a second chance"... and we're all too eager to lap it up.
Character should matter but sadly it doesn't.

in a rather ridiculous manner, to the public ... Clearly a predisposition to tell wildly unbelievable lies to the public, to escape the consequences of his actions, warrens the interest of that same public.
Well, if his religion consisted of taking advantage of his closest relationships, lying to them, and betraying their trust, it would spoeak to a rather deep character flaw that would clearly impact his dealing with the public
Honestly, this might be the first time I have ever heard anyone claim behavior and actions taken towards the public, have no bearing on job performance in a civil capacity
